EDITORI
WE LIKED...
The Howdy Habit, everybody saying "hey'
to everybody, continuing to make Carolinat
the most hospitable campus in the nation. Th(
custom is growing instead of dying.
The Colonel's retwn, to campus gab sessions
He now spends more time hearing and talk
ing to students than ever before. It's the sur<
way to know student problems and find the
answers (to some of his own maybe.)
Reallocation Committee and its offspring the
Student Activities committee. They have both
worked, and accomplished even more than they
hoped. Best of all, they have led the way tc
the new Student-Faculty Comnmittee Plan
with students on all committees concerning
student problems. Henry West, southern gen
eral secretary of the YMCA, says this movc
is probably the most outstanding project or
any southern campus . . . and he travels t,
them all.
Every Professor who stopped to argue witli
us about issues of college life, thereby prov
ing that he has the good of the University al
heart and the welfare of the students on hi
mind. It is also worth the editorial space t<
say again that Carolina's faculty is unequalled
in the state, and by schools of comparative
size anywhere ... and to gape again in amaze
ment at their strength in standing with Caro
lina when their salaries are almost microscopic.
New IIr&nor Principle which places the obli
gation to be a gentleman or lady on the shoul
ders of all, makes an unfair or partial demand
of none, makes Carolina's spirit of living the
business of us all.
Intra-mu.rals as promised for next year. We
hope that they will materialize fully, that the
emphasis on college athletics will go back te
where it belongs ... to the students.
Every Student who disagreed with The
Gamecock and had honesty enough to say so,
who agreed with The Gamecock whether he
said so or not, who went uncomplaining to
fight for his country, who contributed to and
worked for his campus and his nation, and
who sought in every action to keep burning
the fire-brand of Democracy-a brand that
must dIrive out every creed of hate and intol
erance from the world.
KSK Committees which started the fight to
make .all Carolina rings uniform, and to reg
ulate sales so that only qualified seniors could
get them. These committees also took a large
part in campus defense programs andl were
motivating force behind improvements in
buildings and grounds.
Holmes Drelher, because lie continued to
function as a Carolina legend-to-be should...
RalpA Lewis, because lhe has mnade the Alumni
Association one of tile most active offices on
the campus, With only the good of the Uni
versity-no personal glory-at heart . . . La
vinia Lyles, because she played tennis in shorts
on the court near The Gamecock office all
spring . . . Ed Patterson, because he boosted
Carolinma spirit-even though his columnm didn't
improve . . . Dan Gibbes, because he stayed
up all night for wveeks in ordler to make his
Garnet and Black a successful satirization of
campus life . . .Again Dean Bradley, because
his integrity again p)roved to be one solid thing
that students could hold to when weakness was
everywhere evident .. . Patty Breeden, because
she said "I dlon't care-" and stuck by her
guns . .. The Williansons, because they have
made the Carolina glee clubs what they are,
have really made the music department and
its facilities growv, national music week and
the organ established their efforts . .. W. Frank
Taylor, because he was a money man but had
a soft side for the student, even working to
help pay our salaries . . . Doctor Penney, be
cause he took over a track team- on short no
tice and coached them to state championship
. .. Bert lill, because he captained a losing
tennis team which never lost really, because
he fought for minor athletics and the average
student's part in spots. .. and Dori* Nauk,
because she said what she thought. We could
use a few more straight-talking students (and
professors) at Carolina.

AL EXIT
WE DIDN'T LIKE ...
Anybody complacent--Complacent abou
student government, complacent about aca
demics, complacent about improving Carolina
complacent about themselves, if they wer
complacent at' all . . . we didn't like 'em
Furthermore, We'll continue not to like theni
Complacency led the world by its nose righ
into the present catastrophe and anyone will
ing to still follow that course sholild be shol
at sunrise with the rest of the traitors.
Profesional entertainment that Carolim
provided, and still provides, for the publii
on our athletic fields. Let's have our winning
teams imd let's have our scholarships, but let'.
have them after education, not before an(
above education. A step in the right direc
tion has been taken in the new physical edu
cation program. May it soon be followed b3
steps in the reduction of debt.
Uncoordinated and ill-planned High Schoo
entertainmeW. The propagandizing activitie
have been consolidated under one committe(
now, and we hope that there is no repetitior
next year of cross-purposed high school weel
programs and whathaveyou. The annua:
High School Week itself suffered because well.
meant efforts interferred with its normal hand.
ling. KSK had to pull too many rooming
stunts at the last minute. High schoolers trav
eled back and forth, seldom found complet<
programs when they got here, might make th<
tragic error of going to Clenwon as a result
Only bright spot was the News Service picto
rial bulletin which wen' out to high school
seniors.
inactive officers in the student g6vernment
The new constitution will give them plenty tc
do. There will be somebody in the fire besides
the administration for a change.
Buck-a-Night charge for extra beds to en
tertain guests in the dormitories. Our campun
hospitality is one thing we have always beem:
able to brag about. Students can't afford this
hotel rate to keep friends over-night. The
rate should be lowered to a point consistent
with correct care of the beds and with content
of studlent pocketbooks.
Fraternity failure to work together for some
mutuil improvement to themselves and th(
University. They are the only groups that
meet consistently and think basically alike.
Yet they have wor'ked together for nothing.
. . . Interfraternity Council is campus mode;
for refined snoring ..,. and fraternities, there
by, make amnmnition for opponents to hur
at them.
Trhe name University Cooperative Stores, be
cause they have been contracted concessions
for decadles and don't have a cooperative pric<
in a carload.
No Campus 1)ates, because the rule deprives
autoless students of their right to a wholesome(
and beautiful spot in which to keep company
with co-eds, makes the student spend ever
more of his little cash to sit in a movie or ice
cream joint.
Fummyydiddle, because-no matter how well
written and played-this one-act slummer be
came a little irksome to the good citizenry of
the state after 17 performances, its content
hardly representative of usual Player efforts.
Tina Cannim's poems, clipped claptrap...
Bulletin Boards, cluttered and out-of-date, in
accurate and untrustworthy . . . Complainera
who ached loudly but failed to take up ouri
challenge to print their views with their names
signed in The Gamecock . .. Board of Pubs
ications who considers most editors dictato
rial, but offers insufficient newspaper experi.
ence to competently choose new staffs...
Examns (which note we close upon because we
know that there-if nowhere else-we will
meet 100% student agreement).'
So Long.

WASH INGTON-(ACP)-In case you haven't noticed by this time,
all college and university students are eligible for rationing books and
their half-pound of sugar per week whether they live "on campus" or
at home. It may be a good idea to get a book because there is likely
to be further rationing of other products. However, it would be a good
gesture to pass up purchases of sugar if you don't need it. "Reach for a
bond, instead of a sweet!" Perhaps we've a campaign there.
ALIEN STUDENTS
Alien students in American colleges "absolutely do not" have to
register for selective service. All they must do is prove to local draft
boards that their non-resident status is bona fide.
Selective Service officials have been compelled to reiterate the exemp
tion of "non-resident aliens" because of rumors floating about that alien
students are subject to military service.
The majority of these students are citizens of sister American repub
lies, here oni scholarships granted by their home governments or Uncle
Sam.
There is, however, nothing to prohibit their volunteering for military
service. That, too, is doae through the local draft board which turns
over their qualifications and personal histories to the Wgar Department
for final OK.0

Why Hil No.
By JIMMIE HILL
DID NOT
Write the last part of last week's column. It was written by an im.
>sitor, a yellow sheet journalist, a cad. The idea of insulting Univer
ty Play&'s production under my name. (not that the columnists being.
the play had anything to do with his feelings. . . Oh, nol) How dare
intimate that one had a hard time staying awake through it all? Every
te knows that Joe Efron, the butler, can tell when a phone is going to
ig and answer it first so it won't disturb the people in the house.
Quinn's conscience must hurt him. The ideal Admitting he slipped
the side door.
S.
That goes for Eggerton, too!
P.S.
Not that Quinn ain't a good boy. After all, he's the new editor.
LASH
Columbia, S. C. (AWP)-Students at the University of South Caro
ia are in a period of mourning and wailing. Black clothes and sack
Ath-and-ashes are prevelant among usually well dressed 'students as
:rd goes from mouth to car that today's issue of the Gamecock is the
it for the semester.
Said one student with a sigh, "It's not so bad, though. At least I
n't have to worry about being called upon to do a guest column for
ttterson."
The Committee on Publication is particularly hard hit by this ceasing f
the publication for the rest of the semester. "What", wailed one com
ittee member, "Can we spend our time doing if we can't read the paper
d decide what is contrary to the best interest of the University?"
Several of the members hearing of their dilemma have suggested the
's Girl" and the "NROTC Gamecox'n" as possible alternatives. No
tion has been taken on the matter as yet.
No definite word is available, but rumor has it that the student body
particularly distraught over the termination of one editorial column
led "Why Hill Nol" Others have told this reporter that such state
!nts must be put down to propaganda, but this paper is inclined to
,agree.
(Ed. note: It is only this column that disagrees.)
DME OF FAREWELL
The year's end is drawing nigh,
Summer's most here, the sun climbs high;
The -weather's hot. our team was too
If you can remember '41 from 1942.
Lindbergh and his peace campaign
Crashed never to rise again
When Japs dropped bombs with a crash
And draftees left USC the (censored) to smash.
Fort Jackson grew with leaps and bounds,
Soldiers came to Sims like half starved hounds.
What became of that girl and these?
Oh, they married a lieutenant who says, "Jeeeez".
Students trickled out to fight the wars
Brought on by the Great God Mars.
Other great gods like John A. Chase
Cried over registration dropping with haste.
So we remain. we vitiful few
To "caddy-on" as we always do.
With Air Raid Wardens and extra gym
Our chances of survival still seems slim.
We worry not from bombs and shells;
From planes we can be warned by bells.
But look at the danger and need for cramming
When the foe. our professor, starts exanmming.
Therefore, dear readers, we end this tripe
If you don't like it, save your gripe.
'Cause we, like you, also need to cram
'Cause we, like you, have an exam-by dam.
